Ho Hum...

Bored...

Not much going on these days.

Decided this morning to sell off all but 10 of my knives. The collection is way beyond manageable at this point because I love to get them in and keep them but some will never get used because I don't get enough time in the woods any more.

That's kind of a big decision for me. Going to be a tough stretch while making the decision as to what stays and what goes.

Weapon Masters

Anybody remember this show from 2007?

Thanks to Netflix, I have a hankering to make a blow pipe.

The premise of the show, originally aired on the Military Channel, is to pit a backyard engineer type against a weapons historian and his traditional tools and methods in the construction and use of primitive weapons.

So far I have watched episodes on the atlatl, blow pipe, and samurai sword.
There are 10 episodes and I'll probably watch them all when I have a chance...in amongst all of my other projects. LOL!

Check them out if you get a chance. They're pretty entertaining and certainly a little motivational if you're the type that likes to get your hands dirty from time to time.
